We’ve done it. We have made it to a match-up that, on paper, the Orioles should win. This Twins team is not particularly good, proven by their 17-29 record. They are also sending Matt Shoemaker to the mound. His 6.08 ERA can best be described as “chunky,” although it has come down in four straight outings.
John Means is coming off of what was arguably his worst start of an otherwise spectacular season. The lefty served up four earned runs on six hits, a walk and six strikeouts over 6.1 innings while taking a no decision against the Rays last week.
